A specific SRA ... now we're getting somewhere.

It's not "when" sff_extract works ... when extracting non-paired sequences it 
*always* works like sffinfo.

This warning message is courtesy of sff_extract: the SFF is very probably 
broken. sff_extract caught that and gave you a warning, which, by the way, you 
do not get in sffinfo. The resulting FASTA file both from sffinfo and 
sff_extract are still exactly the same.
